Summer is here! But I for one am excited to know that football season is coming as well. But for now, we can relish in the spirit of nicer weather, with the sun still setting later than what is coming for us within months--Northwest dark. This part of the year means travel and outdoor fun and activities.
We also have added to the team another experienced, former State Farm team member. This allows me to have more service people to take care of you--our policyholders. Let's also think about how we look with your protection fits especially if you are in the market for a purchase, new car deals and incentives or just shopping a bit for a new carrier. Is everything in proper form? Do we need to look at changing coverages in case you took out that Summer only classic car...maybe thinking about the boat you've been envisioning? How about the motorcycle or RV? A big one...is our replacement cost for our home up to date? The values on homes have changed dramatically so let's work together to keep this current. Have you been thinking about life insurance but putting it off because, well it's life insurance. But not having the conversation doesn't make "it" go away. I am the most passionate about protecting you and your loved ones. Let's have those conversations--it's worth it!
One of my greatest roles is to go over the health and relevancy of your protection and see how it stacks up to current market environments. Maybe a new car or boat are on the horizon. Or a new house. In light of recent weather events around the country, let's make sure the replacement cost for your home stacks up to current market. Please reach out if you would like to do a policy review to ensure your protection is aligned with your life. After over 30 years' experience in the industry, I often times find areas that could use some refinement. The biggie for me: is your most precious asset covered for those in your life you care the most about? Yes, life insurance. Do you notice that I keep bringing this up? There is a reason. We can replace a car, a jet ski, a ring but what happens if we don't make it home that night? This is why I am so passionate about protecting one's life. If you do have life insurance, is it enough to cover living expenses should you not come home one day? If not, what are the implications? Will your loved ones be able to continue on with the right financial protection? Let's discuss this. Read our Google reviews, get a feel for who we are and how we perform. Call to schedule time with me or my team.
